The base is the area which makes contact with the surface that the object is resting on. A ball, or "sphere" only makes contact with the table it lies on at a single point. The base is a single point.

By the same logic, a cube would have a square as a base. Just saying this so you would have two examples to see the logic behind it.

A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space, such as the shape of a round ball. Like a circle in two dimensions, a perfect sphere is completely symmetrical around its center, with all points on the surface lying the same distance r from the center point. It has no corners.

Because a corner is a thing, it cannot possess items such as a sphere. Therefore, there aren't any corners on the earth that has a sphere.
